Hello, I have been reading the forum topics and trying to figure out how setup the mail server so I can receive emails @mydomain.com. I have purchased the domain name from ucoz and using ucoz to host. I read about the Gmail idea, that may work, but google no longer offers a free or standard service (only premium for business). So I am stuck. Wondering if anyone can help. I review the instructions here and on domainsp.uzoz.com->help section. They give the required settings TXT,CNAME, and MX. I used them in my control panel under domain attachment->Variable Records. I can not get the MX information to save correctly. I tried the us2.mx1.mailhostbox.com as the value, the type set to MX, and the subdomain...well I have tried blank and @ neither one works...

Prior to this, I tried the button "Fix Name Servers Automatically" in the domainsp.ucoz.com config area and that did actually work, but it blew my domain registration and I could not access my site so I had to remove all the domain attachment and re-attach.

Thank you for the reply! I am going to try and make this clear but since it confuses me I can only imagine how it appears to others

I have been able to create the actual email address using domainsp.ucoz.com (clicking the manage email link). I was not able to send emails to this account due to improper settings somewhere. The domainsp.ucoz.com also gives you the option to "Fix Name Servers Automatically" and when I click this it does work and I am able to receive messages with this account...the problem is that my main site is no longer viewable unless I type ucoz in the name...(www.mydomain.ucoz.com)...When I start over again and do the regular domain attachment the site comes up as www.mydomain.com but the email account does not work. I have attached some images to show you what I was referring to.

Also, when I check the control panel after "fixing" the email using the button, under Domain attachment I get the following error:

Only one domain name can be attached. The site is also accessible by its primary name med-cfo.ucoz.com.

The domain has an incorrect set of DNS servers: ucoz.mercury.orderbox-dns.com, ucoz.venus.orderbox-dns.com, ucoz.earth.orderbox-dns.com, ucoz.mars.orderbox-dns.com

Once you have bought a domain or have made any changes to its settings you need to wait 12 hours. The following list of DNS servers must be applied: ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net

And if I go update the DNS list on domainsp.ucoz.com then it breaks the mail server again...

I'll see if I can get in contact with them tomorrow. I tried the expert mode of managing the Domain attachment and I can update all settings except the MX records...I have attached an image of that...anyone have ideas on the MX setup? I have tried different combinations such as "@" "@@" "www" or just blank and nothing will save. I feel like I am very close

I have exactly the same problem as "medicalfutures" describes. When I set up my email, the website goes offline. And when website works, the email is not available anymore.

I guess this has something to do with name servers. The email service requires these ones ucoz.mars.orderbox-dns.com ucoz.earth.orderbox-dns.com, ucoz.venus.orderbox-dns.com, ucoz.mercury.orderbox-dns.com , while the website asks for ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net. In either case either website or email service does not work.
